Princess Caliea is a delicate person.
She inherited House Menethil's unique square face, big eyes and sharp eyebrows. This feature is the finishing touch when it appears on a man, but for Princess Caliea, it undoubtedly destroyed part of her temperament as a beauty.
However, after falling in love with Earth-Warder of Corruption, and experiencing the massacre led by his biological brother Arthas, His Highness Crown Princess, who had completely lost love and lost all his relatives, used a kind of tenacity that ordinary people could not imagine to support a country again.
Theramore, this country that was just born on the coastline of Kalimdor, is not prosperous, but it is full of positivity. The farmers who lost their land were allocated new land here. After the Mages renovated those Swamps that were full of dangers, pieces of fertile land appeared in the suburbs of Theramore City.
Old King Terenas was a diligent ruler who loved the people. Although he ruled Lordaeron from an aristocratic standpoint, he really made the common people remember him, so that after the demise of Lordaeron, Princess Caliea, in Jaina Encouraged by Young Lady, as soon as she climbed up and shouted, tens of thousands of civilians who lost their homes followed her on the dangerous road of Migration.
From the perspective of Dick, Princess Caliea has done really well in this short half year. With the help of the surviving ministers, the new Theramore is developing in a very healthy manner.
But it was still an infant and could not bear too many responsibilities, so First Expeditionary Army of Dick did not choose to land on the mainland of Theramore. Instead, it landed directly in the northernmost part of Durotar at the port of Northern Fortress built by the soldiers of Theramore.
Princess Caliea, who returned to Theramore one step ahead, personally took the ministers to pick up the ship at the port. Although the rulers of Eastern Kingdoms were very bad, they jointly awarded Dick's Seal But is real. If you don't consider the real power and the 10,000 things that make people laugh, Burning Legion, Dick, which was formed by the old, weak, sick, disabled and good Mercenary, can be regarded as the great man of mankind, Lothar After Grand Marshal, he is the second commander of the alliance Burning Legion to be authorized by all Human Kingdom.
However, in the eyes of people who really know what he is doing, this Commander is worthless, and even Dick himself doesn't take it seriously.
But right now, there is a very important and serious question before Dick.
The supplies for these more than 10,000 soldiers can only last for a month and a half at most. Without challenging Theramore's already meager material reserves, he needs to find the source of food and grass in time, otherwise Expedition will become a joke.
But before that, Dick has another thing to do.
Late at night, on the coast of Northwatch Hold, the Commanders of Stratholme Regiment were scattered around this hidden promontory. Herod was guarding further away with his own Champion Squad. Dick, dressed in military uniform, stood on the edge of the cape, Young Lady sat on a chair made of ice, and Erigor, who had been transformed into Staff Officer, stood behind Dick.
The quiet sea breeze blows across the sea. Different from the scenery of Eastern Kingdoms, the original ecological scenery of Kalimdor makes people feel like they have entered Wilderness. This wild and free flavor hits the face, making the melancholy Young Lady feel a little happier.
"Coming!"
Erigor whispered to Dick, who turned around and saw several tall shadows holding torches walking into the corner from the other side. The leader, Orcs, was wearing simple black plate armor and carrying an Stone Hammer with the power of Elements on his back. As he walked in step by step, whether it was Fire of Justice being carried behind him by Dick or the Ebonchill in Jaina's hand, they all made a slight buzzing sound.
"Stop!"
Erigor shouted loudly, Orcs stood ten steps away from Dick, Thrall carefully looked at the armor-wearing human Paladin in front of him,
Dick is also looking at the son of Fate who will be twenty years in the future. "Are you Thrall? Orcs is now Chieftain? It doesn't look like anything special!"
Dick playfully took out a piece of leather letters stuck together from his arms, stretched out his hand, and held it in his hand.
"Mr. Drek'Thar is a respectable wise man. He thinks highly of you. This is why I invited you here!"
The taller Orcs Warrior behind Thrall wanted to take the letter, but was stopped by Thrall. He stepped forward, reached out and took the letter from Dick's hand, and unfolded it in front of Dick. This move made Dick's mouth corners rise.
Thrall is indeed the most friendly Orcs. Just this one action interprets the word trust just right.
After Thrall read it, he passed the letter to Orcs behind him, then put Fist on his chest and saluted Dick,
"Elder Drek'Thar is my Mentor on the Shaman road. I want to thank you for your efforts in mediating the conflicts between the Frostwolf Clan and Stormpike Dwarves, young Human General."
Thrall's voice is very magnetic. It combines the deep voice of Orcs with the intonation of human speech. In short, it still makes people unable to bring up the emotion of disgust. However, as the mortal enemy of mankind in the past 20 years, in addition to Dick, even Jaina Young Lady also looked at Thrall and other Orcs with a look that was mixed with scrutiny and disgust.
Not to mention Paladins who already has his hand on the weapon.
The same goes for Orcs. The atmosphere on both sides is described as tense, which is absolutely correct.
Both Thrall and Dick noticed this, and Dick realized that it was best to keep the story short, otherwise if he stayed too long, something he didn't want to see might happen.
So he took the initiative to speak.
"Thrall, we are not friends, but in Orcs After Migration arrived at the Western Continent, we are no longer enemies. I brought Champion all the way here, not for the hatred before. Great Demon destroyed Dalaran. We know what it wants, so we are here."
Dick glanced at the Orcs behind Thrall who looked unhappy,
"As a basis for peace, I hope you can stop intruding on Northern Fortress. Theramore has no ill intentions towards Orcs. In return, we can help you when you need it."
As soon as Dick finished speaking, the tall Orcs behind Thrall snorted coldly.
"Hmph, humans! Weaklings guys, we don't need your help. Durotar is the home of Orcs, and humans are not allowed to take a step! If you want war, come here! Let's see who teaches whom!"
Dick narrowed his eyes, he recognized that Orcs, that was Varok-Saurfang, now Warlord of Orcs, a brave Warrior.
Facing Varok's ridicule, Erigor took a step forward and said in a cold voice,
"If Commander hadn't decided to meet you beasts, the Longsword of more than 1,000 Expedition Force soldiers would have fallen on you, rude beasts, we will all remember the sins you have committed in Eastern Kingdoms in the past 20 years!"
"Oops!"
"Oops!"
Saurfang pulled out the War Axe behind him, and the other Orcs also pulled out their weapons. On Dick's side, Erigor leaned on Greatsword without fear, and the other Paladin also Longsword unsheathed their weapons.
Jaina took a step back, and Staff, which was exuding a gloomy cold air, gently touched the ground, and a Water Elemental, whose whole body was composed of green flowing water, appeared in front of her.
The atmosphere instantly entered the rhythm of battle, but at this moment when the atmosphere was stagnant, two scoldings sounded at the same time.
"Stand back! Paladins!"
"That's enough! Varok, put away your weapons!"
The scoldings of Dick and Thrall were still effective. Orcs took back his weapon, and Paladins also took a few steps back. However, this sudden outburst still made the negotiation that had a hint of flavor return to the atmosphere of being hated by the Master.
Thrall glanced at Dick, pondered for a few seconds, and then said,
"There is no malice towards Northern Fortress, Orcs, we are just forced to defend ourselves! I am not willing to start a war over these things, and you also said that Demon is here, so I can let Wolf Riderss no longer spy on Northern Fortress, but you... you can't expand any further! Varok is right, this is our home, for the sake of peace, I can give some to you, but don't challenge Orcs's bottom line!"
"Thrall... You can't..."
Varok wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Thrall with a wave of his hand. Dick looked at this scene, touched his chin, and talked about another issue.
"What about Demon? How much do you know about them?"
Thrall spread his hands, looking like I didn't understand him very well.
"We don't know much about Demon, but we know that they appeared half a month ago. Now Azshara has become Headquarters of Demon. They have invaded Ashenvale, that group of Elfs took a very passive retreat. Now Warsong Clan is blocking the entrance from Ashenvale to the Barrens. But frankly speaking, Demon does not seem to regard us as opponents. They are not even willing to divide their forces to attack us."
"Just because they don't take the initiative to attack, don't you think these Demon are a threat? Have you forgotten the origin of Orcs and Demon? You can control your own will, what about the ordinary Orcs?"
Dick shook his head. Thrall's reaction still made him a little disappointed. This Chieftain of Orcs has not grown to the height he will be in the future, and his perspective on the problem is still a bit weak now.
Faced with Dick's rhetorical question, Thrall was speechless for a moment. He thought about it and said solemnly,
"Orcs is no longer the executioner of Demon Blood the Master, but thank you for your reminder. I will start to pay attention to this."
Dick shrugged, he moved his hands, turned his head and looked at Paladins's undisguised murderous intent, and said briefly,
"I brought First Expeditionary Army here just for Great Demon. Let me reiterate that I don't have that much hatred for you, Thrall. I know you are a wise Orcs. You should be able to distinguish clearly who is a friend and who is an enemy."
"We have no intention of being friends with humans."
Before Thrall could answer, Varok shouted, "But if you are really here for Demon, I don't mind giving in for this rare thing Courage, but you You must first show your sincerity. The Demons want to enter the Barrens, and Warsong Clan are resisting with great difficulty. If you can help us repel them, we will evacuate from Northern Fortress immediately!"
Dick glanced at the silent Thrall, and immediately understood that this was also the plan of the kind but cunning Orcs Chieftain. He ground his teeth, looked at the provocative Saurfang, and said in a deep voice,
"Yes! Tomorrow! At noon tomorrow, First Expeditionary Force will prove his sincerity!"
